A fragile, beautiful modern classical masterpiece that marries a deep understanding of European music history with the precariousness of improvised expression. A solo album by French outsider musician/pianist DELPHINE DORA, released on the esteemed 〈MODERN LOVE〉! Pieces for piano and voice, recorded in single takes with no overdubs or editing.
Track List

DELPHINE DORA — whose collaboration with guitarist MOCKE (DOMINIQUE DÉPRET) is still fresh in memory — returns solo! An album of one-take improvisations built on a longing for Baroque music, with delicate, introspective motifs conveyed through piano and voice. Rooted in a scholarly grasp of Western music history, yet a pure form of expression suffused with the risk and intuition inherent to improvisation. Both her playing and her singing are powerful, yet shrouded in a hazy mood — a beautiful work. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
